Removing Cake From Pans.

Line the cake-tins with paper; allow it
large enough to come half an inch above
the top of the pan. Lay the paper over
the outside. and crease ii round the edge
of the bottom of the pan. Fold it in the
middle lengthwise and crosswise. and cut
the open corners to the crease made by
the pan. Then fit it into the inside and
grease the paper, not the pan, with I'M
salted butter or lard. Round, shallow
pans for layer cakes should he lined only
on the bottom. Grease the paper and
edge of the pan. Cakes should bake until
they shrink from the pan.
10 remove the cake from the pan, lay a
clean bread or cake towel over a cake
cooler or wire sieve, or over a long shallow
pan inverted. Run a slender knife be-
tween the tin and the paper. Take the
cake out by lifting the paper on the middle
of each side and place it carefully on the
cloth. Pull the paper away from the
edges. and leave that on the bottom until
the cake is cool enough to be put away.
But if the loaf is TO be frosted turn it over
in the cloth and remove the paper.
Another way, for layer cakes and cakes
lined with paper: Loosen the edges with
slender knife. Hold the pan in the right
hand, slip the left hand under the cake
cloth; turn the pan over, letting the cloth
meet the cake half way, then lower the
cake in the cloth toward the left. Re-
move the pan. If it does not came off
readily, tap it on the bottom with knife
leave it few moments, and then should
it fail TO come off, stoop so that you can
see under the pan, raise the end gently
and slip the knife under and scrape away
what has stuck to the pan. In this way a
broken piece is fitted into its place with
little trouble. As soon as the pan is re-
moved turn the cake over by turning it in
the cloth so as 10 leave it right side up.
This prevents the cake from becoming
heavy by the weight of the hand, or by
its own weight in falling. The under
crust is much nicer than when left to
sweat in the pan.

had not been long at the Standing Rock
Agency, Fort Yates, Dakota, when the reg
uisr issue of onnuities was made to the In
dians of the reservation. The Indians re-
ceived their articles in a room about thirty
feet square, surrounded on three sides by
counters piled high with annuity goods.
Along the other side Of the room were the
desks of the clerks, inspector, Indian agent,
etc. When reached the building there was
string of Indians pressing against the door
Ike lot of theatre goerS at the box Office on
a first night. It was only by actually taking
hold of and pushing some of the evil smelling
fellows aside that 1 was able to reach the
door at all.
When 1 entered blanket full of various
articles was being dragged out of the oppo-
site door, With ne had entered an Indian to
receive his issue. As soon as he entered a
blanket was spread on the floor, and a glib
tongucd young clerk began to rattle of the
list OF things that the Indian and his family
were 10 receive. In moment the air was
literally thick with articles. Trousers, pals,
caps, shawis, blankets, stockings, tin plates
and cups, woven wire mattresses, butter
knives, boxes Of axle grease, woolen scarfs,
mittens, axes, canvas, needles, thread and
cotton shirts, ell rained down in the most
bountiful manner upon the blanket, which
was then gathered at tho four corners and
dragged to the door, where its new owner re-
ceived it.
While all of the Indians receive certain
articles, those who have made the most prog
resS in civilization and have been most sub
ordinate during the past year are specially
favored, and it is the further carrying out Of
the policy here indicated that is so rapidly
turning the Sioux Indians from their savage
habits TO those of civilization.-New York

upon the recent successful experiments, and
it was evident that he had lost nothing Gf bis

visage as he exclaimed:
''Yes, the newspapers and everybody else,
on both sides of the water, have found out
that the gun is thing that has come to stay
nowl Nothing succeeds ike success does it,

our gun, though, that the papers haven't got

Mr.. Cleveland estimates that the surplus
June 80, 1888, will reach $40, O,OO0, 600.
During all of Mr.. Clevelands eventful life
not one dollar was raised by the national gov>
ernment by directly taxing the products of
the country until the extraordinary expendi-
lures caused by the great rebellion made such
taxation necessary to the support of the army
and the navy. These taxes were bitterly
complained of by the leaders of the Demo>
cratic party when first levied, and no one but
conceded they were as thoroughly war meas
ures as were the draft laws and the issuing of
greenbacks, and should be tolerated no longer
than absolutely necessary to the maintenance
of the government.
In the very year in which the President was
born the country was enjoying the blessings
of free trade, and history is searched iR vain
for ten gloomier years than those from 1892
to 1S42, when business was relieved by the
passage of the tariff act of the latter year.
The panic of 1857, likewise, was the fruit of
revenue tariff legislation. Upon getting con-
troll of Congress and the Executive, in 1861,
the Republicans passed a tariff law, and to
that law in large measure the country is in
debted for the successful conduct of the war
In 1867 it was further strengthened.
At no time since early in the war of the re-
bellion has the country been without protec>
tive tariff. Without it the country could not
have been carried through that great struggle
1t has helped the country pay its war debt in
such measure as to command the admiration
of Europe, and has given the people such a
degree of prosperity since as mo people ever
before enjoyed.

That well-known free trader, Speaker Car
Isle, Informs the country, and the sentiment
Is reiterated by the President, that
No part Of our people are more Immediate
ly o: vitally interested in the continuance of
financial prosperity than those who labor for
wages. Upon them and their families must
always fall the most disastrous consequences
Of q monetary crisis; and they too are always
the LAST 10 realize the benefit of a return 10
prosperous times. Their wages are always
the first to fall when the crisis comes, and
tie last to Iise when il passes away
Suppose we admit this: There are other
modes than a reduction Of tariff duties by
which the business of the country can be re-
lieved Of the surplus. and no harm done to
any one. One is by an unconditional repeal
Of the internal revenue laws-the other a dis
tributiOn of the surplus nnong the states, as
suggested by Senator Sherman, in his St.
Clairsville speech.
1t will be observed the President and the
free traders generally are streeruously oppos-
ed 20 the former, and carefully avoid the
latter. Mr. Cleveland and the Democratic
free traders are all at once greatly in love with
that last relict of the war taxes. Very well;
we will not quarrel with them about that
Then adopt the latter plan. Ohios share
will amount to several millions, and the peo-
pie will be relieved from taxation 10 that
extent.
But the Democrats will agree to neither of
these propositions, because they are deter
mined to strike down the tariff. The public
is to be congratulated that they have at last
torn off the mask, and that the party stands
before the country in its true light. On the
issues made by the President we can beat
them in every northern state, and, we be-
lieve, carry Virginia, West Virginia, North
Carolina, and Tennessee, beside.
''Those who labor for wages are, likewise,
somewhat interested in receiving good wages.
They know that under the operations of a
protective tariff the manufacturing industries
of abe country have flourished, railroad build
ing and other enterprises have prospered, the
demand for labor hes been good, and the
wages better than in any other patton on the
globe. If men have employment at good
wages, the matter of saving a dollar or two
on a suit of British made clothes is of little
importance, as compared with glutted labor
market. and uncertain employment, at low
wages.
The reduction of tariff duties will benefit
no one but the importing interests, nor do we
believe the repeal of the internal revenue
laws will Immediately benefit any one but
the producers and dealers in liquors and to-
bacco. All observing men know how such
things operate.
We believe the levying of direct taxes by
the general government upon the products of
the country, in a time of peace, and when the
money produced from such source is not re-
quired, is contrary to the genius of our
government, and therefore the internal reve
nue. taxes should be abated. Down with
them, or distribute the proceeds among the
statesl

A Louisiana Sugar Plantation.

A sugar plantation is divided by main
iitches and roads into sections known in
some parishes as "cuts," in others as 'istripsi'
and in still others as blocks" These have
names familiar to all the people on the place.
At Magnolia they talk of the ''Polly Garden
strip" the ''Molly Shanty strip the North
Front strip" the "Bis Oak strip" etc. Each
of there sections is subdivided by small
bitches into fields containing an average Of
about twenty-five acres. Every well man
eyed plantation is carefully mapped, and the
planter, running his eye over the map in his
Office, will tell you just what fields are in
plant cane, in stubble cane or in COW peas
He plans his operations on his map es gen.
eral does campaign. 1t is a stirring, fasci-
mating business, which keeps a man ON the
alert, mentally and physically, and develops
the most Intelligent type of the country gen.
eleman to be found in the south.
The cane cutting season begins the 1st Of
October. 1t would bo advantageous to wait
longer, for the canes are constantly sweeten-
ing their juices, but there is danger that the
crop may not all be harvested before the
frosts come. In Cuba, where there is no
frost, the planter can continue to cut and
grind until the new sap begins to flow in the
stalks. Not infrequently it happens that a
Louisiana planter raises more cane than he
can work up in his mill before the cold
weather of January sets iG. The next year
he reduces his acreage. The amount of land
he can cultivate must depend on the capacity
of his mill.-E. V. Smalley in The Century.
